Answer:

5(a+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

expression is equivalent to 5a+20

To get the equivalent expression we need to factor the given expression

5a+ 20

5a can be written as 5 * a

20 can be written as 5*2*2

WE can see that common factor is 5 for both 5a and 20

So GCF is 5

Now we factor out GCF 5

WE put 5 outside and write all the left of factors inside the parenthesis

5a +20

5 (a+2*2)

5(a+4)

The angle of depression from the top of a cruise ship to the top of a sailboat is 22. Sitting above water, the cruise ship is 23

dusya [7]

Answer:

The distance between the cruise ship and the sail boat is 517 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cruise ship is 236 feet tall, and the sailboat is 236 tall; this means the distance between the top of the cruise ship and the top of the sail boat is

236 feet - 27 feet = 209 feet.

We also know that the angel of depression from the top of the cruise ship to the bottom of the cruise ship is 22°. This forms a right triangle as shown in the figure attached.

Now from trigonometry we get:

$tan \: \theta = \dfrac{209}{d}$
